Bug#501560: [gfortran] Documentation lacks information about how to compile a module

[Noel David Torres Taño <envite@rolamasao.org>]

Package: gfortran
Version: 4:4.3.1-2
Severity: normal


gfortran documentation lacks any kind of info about how to create a module .mod file. It should be quite easy to indicate that the standard gcc option -c when applied to the to-be-compiled file 
creates the .mod file along with the .o file.
